Translocator Quest To Many Common Zones

[Cruzer]

thanks trev

[Lillu]

Thanks for sharing this Trev. My players found a minor 'issue' if you have time to adress it. When you misstype a short zonename, the NPC will respond with a "-" (instead of telling you that you can't type ).

I haven't tried this yet, but I think this might do what you are wanting:

#Array for all available zones to be sent to

yep, and once again thanks Trev!

I'm looking for a way to take this script and add more text to the responses. Like if a person is flagged for the zone, the level range/requirement, etc. The flagged portion could be green if flagged, red if not, the level range could be colored similar to cons, depending on how you rate compared to the zone.

Like right now the responses (when pressing [all]) looks like:

Surefall Glade: [qrg]
West Freeport: [freportw]

I want it to look like this:

[Level 50-60] [Not Flagged] Plane of Awesome: [awesomeplane]


Can it be done?

[sorvani]

Sure, just have to check all the quest globals that lock you out of said zone, and level bypass, etc, etc.
Huge amount of work depending on your server.

Well I figured as much. Looking for a little more guidance. Pretty new these things.
